This just reminds me of how much of a pain the whole thing is lol. What on earth is LECA??

The bigger pot thing I gathered but I often wonder if the roots can sense that there's more space to go, or if there's nearby competition they have to avoid, before actually coming into contact with them. I get the feeling they somehow know what size pot theyre in.

And yes, watering is something I think we can't just guess. I'm gonna have to google for every single plant and customise accordingly, at least until they grow bigger...

Thanks! It's good to hear when I'm not the only one struggling to make these weaklings get through the day! hah
